He then moved to The Hague and lived at Wilhelminastraat 50 in the Bezuidenhout district in the Haagse Hout district . From 1893 he lived again in Scheveningen in the Belgisch Park district . He preferred open air painting and often worked with Jozef Israëls , the founder of the Hague School in The Hague and the surrounding area. Bohnhorst's pictures, most of which he signed with A.
